1. General Guidelines
2. Schedule for Tuesday, Dec 4
3. Schedule for Thursday, Dec 6

A. General Guidelines (see How to Prepare for a Panel for further advice)

• Days: Tuesday, Dec 4, and Thursday, Dec 6
   
• Time: Starts promptly at 9:30 AM. We have little time, so the panels will start promptly.
   
• Duration of presentation: Five minutes and no more. At four minutes, you'll hear a courteous tinkle of a bell. At five minutes, a bone-shaking clang will stop your presentation if it has not already concluded. If you're in the middle of a sentence, you'll be permitted to complete the sentence (with no more than one conjunction), but that's it.
   
• Duration of question and answer period: Five minutes and no more, marked by a bell. Questions will be posed by the panel, but any motivated member of the general audience may also ask.
   
• Loading presentations: There won't be time to download your presentation. It must be on the computer before the panels begin. This can be done in either of two ways, and only these two ways:
   
  • E-mail your presentation to me before 8:30 AM the day of the presentation
  • Bring your presentation on a memory device to class by 9:15 AM. Do not expect to download it from your e-mail.
     
• Review assignments: All proposals to be reviewed can be obtained from the schedule below, by clicking the name of the presentation. You'll be assigned to three panels, with the following responsibilities:
   
  • Primary reviewer: Thoroughly read the assigned proposal beforehand. Lead the discussion -- ask the first question and be prepared to ask more.
  • Secondary reviewer: Thoroughly read the assigned proposal beforehand. Be prepared to ask questions.
  • Additional reviewer: Read the proposal beforehand to the extent you can. Ask questions, especially about the presentation.
     
• Attendance: You need to be present to fulfill your responsibilities to your colleagues. Needless to say, you need to be there to give your own presentation as well.
   
• Written feedback: E-mail the presenter (copying me) your written comments the same day as the presentation. Feedback on proposals for which you're an additional reviewer is optional.
